I found a James Avery ring at a school, two inches down. It was so exciting to see that circle of silver, at first I thought it was another washer! I think going to my local MD club for the first time this week and joining brought me good luck! One of the dimes was a 1965, just a year earlier..... silver ring.jpg

Congrats on your first silver ring R&B ! That sure is a "chunky" looking piece of sterling.

sweet ring, love those surprises. I graduated from John Jay in 75, the city sure has changed since then. I went back in 76 to visit, there were houses forever where I used to catch rattlesnakes LOL

Thanks, Dave! I think you all brought me good luck when I went to the SA club on the previous Thursday. So glad to know folks in the area that I can learn from and share the fun of metal detecting!!

Thanks! I have been getting more nickels and pulltabs lately, so hopefully I am close! I am wondering at what VDI would I most likely get a gold ring, and how the tone would sound? I know it will depend on how big the ring is etc,.....but can you give me an idea since you have a Garrett product?

Thank you, Tohenry. I like the fact that I found a ring with the cross on it. I feel like it was a sign, since I had a really rough 2018. :icon_thumleft:

My last 10K white gold woman's ring hit at 43.
I found a 14K Yellow gold men's signet that hit 67
I also found a 14K Gold Mens wedding band that hit at 58.

I use the stock 8.5X11 coil pro Zero mode so basically I dig all VDI between low 40s and up.
Lots of foil but gold also

Good Luck

Thanks, neohio, that helps a lot! I went out a little today, and got a nickel and more pull tabs, so I am continuing the trend. The nickel was the first target I dug. I am running my "jewelry" mode so I get 40 and up on my detector.
